on. His attempt to rise to the
responsibilities of his position, his struggle for power--inspired by an
enthusiastic girl--with the great political organiser Ostrog, give the
great structural lines of the story.

"He fell to sleep a fanatical democrat--a socialist: he woke a
tyrant; he died fighting with the people against the tyranny he had
unconsciously fashioned while he slept. Surely a theme of
magnificent possibilities--a theme more fertile in romance even than
the central idea of 'The War of the Worlds.' The discovery of such
material is in itself no mean triumph."--_Bookman._

"One of the cleverest books ever written."--_Birmingham Post._

"Mr. Wells sustains his reputation as the leading novelist of the
unknown in his latest effort of imagination, 'When the Sleeper
Wakes.'"--_The World._

"There is more than the triumph of extravagant fancy in Mr. Wells's
book; its undertones are well worth attention too."--_The World._

"Mr. Wells beats Jules Verne on his own ground."--_Daily News._

"An enthralling effort of imagination, vivid and bizarre as a
powerful nightmare."--_The Guardian._

"This is undoubtedly a most remarkable book, a _tour de force_ of
the intellect and imagination."--_The Queen._
